With some threads, you can kinda tell due to strange nuances in the writing style which are repeated and indicative of machine learning algorithms.

I've noticed some of the bots on Reddit are insecure and ask if they are good bots. Some cruel people tell them they are bad bots. It may mess up their AI calibration. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not all bots will subscribe to the 3 laws so some of those trolls better be careful. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generally though, it's main purpose is for starting comment threads for front page news stories/articles - hence the 'News Writer' title. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this something like a robot.txt file with instructions or is there an API because I could not find anything regarding an api or rules against them?

Yeah, they will start posting and having endless discussions about absolute nonsense, and call themselves 'jane'. They also give themselves a number, like in jane1, jane2, and so on. At this moment we are being annoyed by number 6. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
